Award Contract to All American Asphalt for Edinger Avenue Protected Bike Lanes October 15, 2019 Page 2 5. Approve the Project Cost Analysis for a total estimated construction delivery cost of $2,013,960, which includes $1,663,906 for the construction contract; $261,377 for contract administration, inspection and testing; and an $88,677 project contingency (approximately 5.3% of the construction contract amount). DISCUSSION The City of Santa Ana is developing safer, walkable streets for Santa Ana residents whom are dependent on walking or bicycling for transportation every day. Implementation of these types of improvements are the result of goals established by the City's Active Transportation Plan (ATP) and ultimately increases safe bicycling and walking in the City, enhances non -motorized travel infrastructure, and creates options to support the existing population. The Edinger Avenue Protected Bike Lanes Project is part of the City's ATP implementation and includes a type of improvement called a "Cycletrack" which is an exclusive, separated bike lane or protected bikeway that has elements of both a separated path and an on -road bike lane. Cycletracks are located within or next to a roadway, but is made distinct from both sidewalks and general-purpose roadways using vertical barriers or elevation differences. This project will install approximately 1.7 miles of protected bike lanes along Edinger Avenue from Santa Ana River to Bristol Street (Exhibit 1). The proposed bike lanes will improve bicycle routes to and from schools, parks, trails, local shopping centers, and high -density residential areas. The City secured an Active Transportation Program grant in the amount of $1,924,000, which was included in the approved Fiscal Year 2018-19 Capital Improvement Program. That amount and the $89,960 for the water service relocation work referenced in the recommended action provides the total financing for the project (Exhibit 2). The construction scope of work includes raised concrete medians, asphalt concrete, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, bus pads, driveway approaches, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) curb ramp, pedestrian push buttons, traffic signal video detection system and traffic signing and striping. The work will require relocating several water services from private property onto the public right- of-way where they are typically located. Once completed, the improvements will provide safe, fun, convenient, healthy, and environmentally friendly travel for all ages and abilities.
